I can't believe that I am already a resident of this planet for the past 30 odd years. The movie Interstellar sort of bent my thinking a bit. Esp about the fact that our senses or the neural system cannot detect the dimension known as time. Even though we know that the position of an object changes in the X, Y or Z directions, we can never sense the change in time. The absence of this sense stops us from moving between two points in time or rather let's say - we just keep moving in one direction without a control.
Nah, i don't want to write another science fiction post here. I am just going to dump by brain on the title of this post - that is the symptoms of a mid-life crisis.
You see, I started my life with the least number of friends and I was a part of a silo life - living with my mom. Slowly, I started making friends, I started moving out to different places. Things got to a point where I would battle time to give time to people.
Things have dramatically changed in the past 2 odd year esp the last one. Here I list down 3 categories where I point out 3 types of varieties for each category.
Facebook.
I login to Facebook and I see posts of 3 different nature:
1. People outside India on Onsite. They never talk about the work you do, but it does tell you that the west is a far more cleaner place and we Indians boast of posting photos. We even seem to have more knowledge about such places than of our very own country.
2. People getting married or posting about a birth of a child.
3. People talking about a topic that gives them an easy access to blame the system or the society. These people take a pot shot at social issues by putting in harsh words and pretend to make a change by writing a few words on social media.
Friends
1. People who are married. It solely depends on the stage of their marriage. But in general they are inter twined in their own little lives so much that they wouldn't care about not making up to some place. They have a way to blame it on their wives.
2. People who are frustrated coz they are not married. These people are not married and they don't want to make any efforts to get married either. The resultant is seclusion and mood swings from time to time.
3. A rare breed of unmarried, free willed, youthful people. These guys are self contained and they mean fun. I have seen this 3rd category shift towards the 2nd one very rapidly with age.
Myself
1. All of a sudden, i want to earn more and more money. I seem to have started acknowledging that 'savings' and earning good money in life are very important. It's important to gather assets and then sit over them till you die.
2. Laptops and Mobile phones are my best buddies. All of my friends have turned electronic and I don't use the phone to call them anymore, I type to them.
3. I have more 'practical' dreams. Dreams are meant to be unrealistic - that's why they are called dreams. What's the use of dreaming - 2 kids and 3 bungalows after 10 years. That seems cliché and something everyone associates themselves with. But i seem to be giving in.
So as you see it, the mid-life crisis is dawning on me, coz slowly but surely - the contagious effect is succumbing me to it.
